Interesting: apparently, only 6% of the questions submitted to Putin directly concern the "special military operation." https://t.me/RIAKremlinpool/15239

Dangerous topic to touch if you aren't a true believer, but even then I'd expect the true believers to manage a substantial amount of questions.
The reasonable conclusion is that the Kremlin is trying to minimise the SMO, which isn't exactly news, though it might be notable they want to do it in this context. Probably indicative that the pressure for a mobilisation is forecast to be manageable for a while, which might not be news either?
